Sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers
Ps 147:3 says ‘Jehovah is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.’ We need comfort in many areas of life. One of the greatest causes of grief is the loss of a loved one in death, especially a beloved marriage mate or a child. In times of distress, we may need comfort that soothes our heart, our mind, our emotions, and both our physical and spiritual health. For example, consider the heart. God’s Word acknowledges that our heart can be “broken and crushed.” (Ps. 51:17) Even in severe situations, God can bring relief to a stricken heart if we pray to him in full faith and observe his commandments.
From the mid 1969 when we first met in Easton, and all through the years in Rochester, as we saw our kids grow and become young adults, leave home for their careers and families, Ione was always to all of us more than an acquaintance, beyond a friend, but as amember of our family. The Frydmans will miss her terribly. She has now no more pain, and let her rest in peace.
